Grand Valley St. transfer WR Jahdae Walker earns Kentucky offer

Kentucky football continues to search the transfer portal for impact players.

On Monday night, Grand Valley State transfer wide receiver Jahdae Walker announced on Twitter that he has received an offer from the Wildcats, tagging associate head coach Vince Marrow in his tweet. The 6-foot-4, 205-pound pass catcher played in 11 games for the Lakers in 2022, hauling in 30 catches for a team-high 623 receiving yards to go along with four touchdown receptions.

Walker, who spent his first two seasons at Grandy Valley State, will have two years of college eligibility remaining. He entered his name into the transfer portal on April 26 and has since earned offers from the likes of Texas A&M, Colorado, Pittsburgh, Mississippi State, Illinois, Michigan State, and several non-Power 5 schools.

The Cleveland, OH product spent most of his true freshman season watching from the sidelines but took full advantage of his opportunity as a sophomore. Walker received All-GLIAC First Team honors in 2022 as Grand Valley State finished the season with a 12-1 record. The Lakers’ lone loss came in the second round of the NCAA Division II Playoffs to Ferris State, which went on to win the championship.

During his high school career at Shaker Heights (OH), Walker played both sides of the ball as a three-year varsity starter. He registered 18 catches for 431 yards and five touchdowns as a senior on offense while recording 55 tackles, nine pass breakups, six forced fumbles, and two interceptions on defense. He was named All-District and Third-Team All-Ohio as a result.

This dude can make some highlight-reel catches.
